Photographer Aly Wight took this photograph of Ardvreck Castle, standing on the shore of Loch Assynt in the far north of Scotland. The Mackenzies did not build it, but they claimed it. By the mid-seventeenth century the clan had grown into one of the most powerful forces in the Highlands, their lands stretching from the Black Isle to the Outer Hebrides, and in 1672 they sacked Ardvreck from its MacLeod occupants and added these remote Sutherland shores to their reach. Their hold on it proved short. After the Jacobite risings of the early eighteenth century, Scotland's efforts to restore the exiled Stuart dynasty to the throne, the Mackenzies were forfeited and their Sutherland holdings passed to the Earls of Sutherland.
If you carry the Mackenzie name, Ardvreck is part of what that ambition looked like at its furthest reach.
